Vale – Luke Bush 1 October 1991 – 10 April 2010

On Saturday 10th April 2010, the club lost one of our upcoming stars with the passing of

Luke Bush as a result of injuries received in a vehicle accident in Goulburn.

Luke was one of the new breed of Bluebags, a likely lad who made his way from Goulburn to

train and play for the club. He was beginning to build a reputation of a quality fast bowler and

a tenacious competitor.

Luke was also a very likeable person a ''bit of a rough diamond with a bit of a cheeky side”.

From the moment he joined the club, he just seemed to fit in like he had been playing for the

club for years. Whether it was at training or in a match, Luke would always give his all. He

was always keen to improve his understanding of the game and was would take every

opportunity to expand his knowledge by listening to the senior players talking about the game

and taking in what was said.

He was never one to complain or carry on about when he got a bowl and where he batted. He

always tried to make the most of the opportunities that came his way, but first and foremost,

Luke was a team player. He was a gifted sportsman who excelled at any sport he put his hand

to.

Luke had just begun studying Architecture at Canberra University and was just about to

embark on the trip of a lifetime, a stint with The University of Dublin cricket club as their

club professional when this tragedy stuck.

The funeral was held at St Saviours Anglican Cathedral in Goulburn and was attended by

Luke‟s family, friends, school mates and team mates. Over 500 people were there to pay their

last respects and to say their final farewell to Luke.

The club‟s thoughts and sympathies are with his family Michael, Diane, Kate and Ryan.

President’s Report

At our presentation night a few years ago, I spoke about the club‟s victory in the 1991/92 1st

grade premiership decider (The Unwinnable Final) and the culture of winning that was so

prevalent then. Well 3 years on and the club has not only returned to financial viability, but

has surpassed expectations with on field performances unequalled in our 90 year history. This

feat wasn‟t achieved by the efforts of just a few but by the efforts of every single member of

the club.

I endeavour to get to games at Freebody each week and occasionally head over to watch 1st

grade when they are away, and it is very pleasing to see how „professional‟ the attitude of the

players is and the camaraderie within each team. A lot of this has to be attributed to the

Captains and senior members of each team. I am also pleased at the number of “juniors”

across all teams and how they are building in confidence and how they are becoming integral

to the overall success of the club. I won‟t highlight any individual performance as that will be

done in various parts of this report.

Firstly, I would like begin by acknowledging the on field efforts across the club this season.

Club Championship

Random Computing 1st grade Premiership

Konica Cup

Retained the 1st grade Twenty/20 Trophy

SCG Cup – Quarter finalists

2nd grade 2-day - Minor Premiers and Premiers

2nd grade 1-day – Semi finalist

3rd grade 2-day - Premiers

3rd grade 1-day - Runner‟s Up

4th grade 1-day - Premiers

4th grade 2-day – Semi finalist

5th grade - Minor Premiers

Women‟s Premier League - Runner-up.

Next, I would like to make mention of the DB Robin Awards night and that many people

from our club were acknowledged for their efforts or performances during the course of the

season. I would like to also acknowledge those efforts as follows:

Ron Bates: Ron was the joint winner in this year‟s Greg Lord Administrator of the Year

Award. As Mark Parton (MC) read the citation, which included references to being a dashing

right hand batsmen and an excellent all round fielder, the audience half expected to see

Michael Clark come up onto the stage.

Greg Dawes: There was also a fair bit of talk on the night about Greg who, with ongoing

advice from Rohan Ditton and the assistance of staff at Queanbeyan City Council, was

credited for the fine work that has gone into the wickets and outfields at Freebody and Town

Park. This was evident in that for the first time in living memory Queanbeyan City hosted a

grade cricket final and 2nd grade to boot.

Gordon Elliott: Gordon again is the envy of most of the grade clubs. His meticulous attention

to detail has enabled the club to continue to build financial security. We have a healthy bank

balance, thank in no small part to Gordon‟s efforts.

Greg Dawes and Gordon Elliott were also acknowledged with Cricket ACT Volunteers

Awards.

I would also like to acknowledge the assistance that we received from Club and family

members for their efforts in catering or scoring for National and Grade competitions.

Faye Solway

Kathy Elliott

Lyn McLennan

Shannon Newham

Peta Mannix

Shane Martin

Finally, I would also like to acknowledge the contributions of those who were so much part of

the club‟s success 20 years ago and are still involved with the club, people like Michael Frost,

Colin Crouch, Peter Solway and John Bull to name but a few.

The Trophy Cabinet

Secretary’s Report

I begin my report on a sad note. I like so many others in our community, was shocked by the

news of the untimely passing of one of the club‟s young guns, Luke Bush. Whilst Luke‟s time

at the club was short, he certainly left an impact on everyone he met. He will be sadly missed.

On Field

Well, what a year. Where to start?

I guess firstly congratulations must go to every single player in the club as we won our first

Club Championship for almost 20 years. Probably the most prestigious award a club can win

as it shows the depth of talent in a club and the commitment by all the players. It was one of

the proudest moments in my life, jointly accepting the Trophy with Jonothan Dean and Ian

McNamee at the DB Robin Awards Dinner.

z

Ron Bates, Jono Dean and Ian McNamee with the Club Championship Trophy

In my report last year, I highlighted the need for all players to commit to the club and to make

themselves available week in and week out. I believe that the foundation for our success this

season came from this commitment as each team was able to field at least the same core group

of players every week.

I will start by congratulating Jono Dean and his lads, for not only retaining the 1st grade

Twenty20 Pre-season Cup (albeit by washout) but more importantly winning the Konica Cup

and backing that up by winning the Random Computing 1st Grade Premiership. Added to this

the club also qualified for the finals of the SCG cup. Unfortunately in our first game we

narrowly went down to a very good Parkes team. Overall not a bad captaincy debut season.

Next congrats to Ben Stensrud and 2nd grade. Ben, despite his youngish age, has been around

the club for years. In this, his second season as Captain, the team performed beyond

expectations. They made the semis of the one-day competition only to lose to a very good

Weston Creek team. They then went on to finish the two-day competition as Minor Premiers.

Determined to go one better, in the semi against North‟s, they just didn‟t beat their opponents

they thumped them. In the feat of winning the 2nd grade premiership, they became the first

team in living memory from Queanbeyan to win a Premiership on home soil.

Now to 3rd grade. Building on from the success of 4th grade in the previous season most of

the team made the step up into 3‟s and as a result the team had a nice balance of experience

and youth with Lea Hansen again at the helm. The team made the final of the one-day

competition, only to lose to North‟s. With Lea in great form, he got the call from Jono Dean

to bolster 1st grade bowling stocks and handed over the reins to Rohan Ditton. Actually the

team was captained by committee, with Rohan nominated to toss the coin. The season also

saw the welcome return of Dave Monck. In the final, the team took on Ginninderra and from

the time Ditts won the toss, the boys were in complete control and won the match by over 100

runs.

Finally to 4th grade. Peter Solway returned to full time cricket this year to lead another band

of young stars, backed up by a couple of experienced old hands in the form of Simon Mann

and John Bull. Despite a slow start to the season, the lads found their feet and qualified for the

one-day final. In a man of the match performance, John Bull was the key in team securing the

title. The team went on to qualify for the finals of the two-day competition only to go down in

the semi (on a less that friendly Jamison deck) to a very strong West‟s team, who would go on

to win the title. One of the highlights of the season must be Simon Mann‟s maiden century for

the club and a big one it was too with Simon scoring 154.

I would also like to congratulate those players who achieved a personal milestone this year.

Finally as a tribute on his retirement, Lea Hansen was presented with the club‟s “Spirit of

Cricket‟ award.

Off Field

The club administratively and financially continues to go from strength to strength. We now

have a healthy bank balance, which will go a long way to ensure that the club is in a position

to weather any uncertainty in the corporate sector over the next few years.

This year the club welcomed onto the committee Chris Doyle and Lea Hansen as well as the

return of Graham Hannaford after a brief hiatus away from the club. Stephen Cross was also

back in the fold after a brief „retirement‟. Unfortunately due to other commitments Chris

Doyle and Ian Hamill both had to step down from the committee during the early part of the

season.

Gordon continues to be a great bookkeeper and to maintain his reputation as the best treasurer

in the district.

Greg Dawes continued from where he left off in the previous season with the outstanding

work on the wickets. This year he also took control of Town Park wicket and with the great

improvement in standard of the wicket and outfield, the final of the Premier League was

played there. I am sure that the wickets he prepared were instrumental in our overall success.

Superlatives cease to be used when describing the quality of the wicket and they are just

referred to as a „Dawsey special‟

Peter Baker took on the role of our Grade Cricket Committee representative, he also

continued in his role as Women‟s Coach and Women‟s Council Representative. I am amazed

at how he could find time to do all the things he does.

Dean Mansfield continued with his role as Webmaster and in conjunction with Steve

Hodgman from the Junior Club, revamped the whole website.

Stephen Cross and Greg Dawes joined forces to take on the role of selectors and did a great

job with teams each week. They had a tough job this year, not who to put into the teams, but

who to leave out such was the good performances by all the teams.

Steve Cross also joined with Rohan Ditton to organise a number of social activities including

Family Day at Freebody.

This year I was invited to participate in the weekly sports show on Queanbeyan 96.7 FM

hosted firstly by James Buckley and then Pete „Nook‟ Newham when he took over the reins.

It was a great experience in being able to share the club‟s exploits and successes with the

citizens of Queanbeyan and beyond. I would also like to thank James Buckley and Josh

Spasaro (who took over from James as the Sports Reporter for the Queanbeyan Age) for their

efforts in keeping our club at the forefront of sports news each week.

I would also like to acknowledge the financial support of our sponsors including the

Queanbeyan Kangaroos Football Club, Ian McNamee & Partners, ActewAGL, Baker Deanne

& Nutt, Canberra Investment Corporation, J & J Interiors, Peter Jensen‟s Sportsbiz, LJ

Hooker Financial Services and Sportsman‟s Warehouse.

I would also like to thank Daryl Jenkins from the Canberra Trophy Centre for the donation of

an engraved crystal decanter as well as Dave Shiels and Ian Black from Country Style

Windows who donated the frame for the Brad Haddin personally autographed bat.

The 1st Grade Player Sponsorship arrangements again proved to be a good source of revenue

with the following businesses also supporting our club.

Spaseski & Assoc Pty Ltd

Frank Wilson Solicitor

Intelligent Alarms and Monitoring Services

Fosters Australia

National Australia Bank Queanbeyan

Capital Terrace Auto Repairs

Andrew Deane Insurance Services Pty Ltd

I must not forget to acknowledge the support that was provided to the club from the staff from

Queanbeyan City Council who are always ready to provide assistance whenever we required

it.

For those of you who attended our Annual Dinner and Presentation night, I am sure you

remember what a great night it was. On behalf of everyone in the club I would like to extend

our thanks to Rohan Ditton, Stephen Cross (who volunteered to be our MC on the night),

Greg Dawes and Michael Frost for their efforts in making it a night to remember. I must also

thank Rohan for his great speech on the night, however I have to make mention that next year

we will be invoking the Academy Award rule and speeches will be limited to 2 minutes.

I would also like to pass on congratulations personally received from Dr Mike Kelly (Federal

Member for Eden-Monaro), Mr Steve Whan (State Member for Monaro) and Cr Tim Overall

(Mayor, Queanbeyan City Council) on a great year.

Thanks also go to Peter Coleborne, Dean Mansfield, Chris Doyle and Jimmy Martin who

joined with me on a wet Sunday to assist the Salvation Army with their Red Shield Appeal

this year.

Finally, to the wives, partners, girlfriends, and families of all the committee members who,

not only assisted with the various functions and tasks, but just as important, provided their

understanding, generosity and support to their respective partners, which is duly

acknowledged and sincerely appreciated.

The Future

The big challenge to the club is to build on the successes of last season and to become the

benchmark by which all the other clubs measure success. We need to continue to recognise

and develop our talented juniors as well as make our club the first choice for new players

coming to the Canberra region.

We also need to put more effort into social activities and fundraising. Our bank account

balance is healthy now, but that could all change without warning. We need to ensure that our

community obligations are not forgotten as well.

Treasurer’s Report

The club realised an operating profit for 2009-10 of $6,726 and marked a continuation of the

club's strong financial performances in the past few years. The result reflected continued

strong support from the local business community including from its major sponsor The

Queanbeyan Kangaroos Rugby Leagues Club. Other major supporters were ActewAGL, The

Sportsman's Warehouse, Baker Deane & Nutt, LJ Hookers, J & J Interiors, and the

Queanbeyan City Council who again delivered 3 high quality and well maintained cricket

grounds throughout the season. The club's "Players Sponsorship Program" has also continued

to grow.

Given the improvement in the ground and pitch preparation the club was selected by ACT

Cricket to host several representative matches and this also impacted on the favourable

operating result. The club's strong support from the local community also enabled the club's

General Committee to deliver improved amenities back to the players including the purchase

of a ball machine and pitch covers for both Freebody grounds.

The club's Balance Sheet at 31 May 2010 reflects a strong position which the General

Committee has been committed to accumulating over the past few seasons and has given the

club the opportunity to invest further in playing and ground equipment for future seasons.

The 2009-2010 season was a fantastic season for the Bluebags. Let‟s be honest it‟s not every

day a team wins all premiership trophies on offer, 3 to be exact!

In my 3 seasons for the bluebags it was clear to me that the club was building towards

something great.

From the time the first ball was bowled, it was clear to everyone that this was the season to

make things happen. 3 years in a row Bagger‟s had been knocked out in the semis of the 2-

day and 1-day competitions, well not this year!

The 2009/10 season started well with a lot of excitement and enthusiasm throughout the club.

We had good solid build up through our pre-season preparations. This season we welcomed

Sandy Craze and Luke Bush into the fold. Sandy and Luke joined the other young guns Dean

Solway, Jordan McLennan and Michael Spaseski. There was a good mix of experience and

youth in the 1st grade squad so things were looking good.

First up we had to defend our Twenty/20 title, however wet weather intervened and it was

washed out without a ball being bowled. Trophy retained. (1 of 3)

The Konica Cup was a real strong point for the Bluebags this year. I think a combination of

hunger, planning and great execution from the boys played a vital part in our success in this

format. We went through the round stage not really being tested but still having some great

team/individual performances. Southy was again dominant with the new ball, Heads and

Higgsy always explosive with the bat whilst taking plenty of wickets. To top this off, our

fielding was outstanding.

We went through the preliminary rounds of the Cup undefeated. In the semi final, we easily

accounted for West‟s with Southy (4/29) and Leathal (3/43) tearing them apart with their

bowling.

The final then came down to a matchup between us and Cup holders Weston Creek. In the

first final, things didn‟t really go our way but thankfully the gods of cricket were smiling on

us, as they decided that the match would be played on another day.

In the replay, the boys were not going to let Creek dominate again and we bowled them out

for 202, with Leathal bagging 3/27 and Higgsy 3/38. We had a bit of a wobble at the top of

the order to be 2/21 but then Jordie (84 no) combined with Higgsy (92) for a 168 run

partnership to put us within touching distance of the target. Though we lost a couple more

wickets, we passed their score in the 34 over. The victory was sweet. (2 of 3)

To the premiership. We started our campaign on a great note, winning the first 4 games

(including an outright against Ginninderra). Then in the last game before the Christmas break,

we came back to earth with a thud losing to Tuggers at Condor, a match that also saw Heads

nearly loose a finger in trying to take a return catch off his own bowling (thankfully it was

only a bad dislocation and he would return to play a vital role later in the season). Everyone in

the team did a bit of soul searching and resolved to re-focus on the job at hand.

After Christmas the team just went from strength to strength and with the addition of Lea

Hansen to our ranks, the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle was in place. Again the only hiccough

was the loss to our arch rivals Creek. We finished the season in second place and faced off

against West‟s in the semi final at Stirling. In many ways, this match warranted being a Grand

Final such was the intensity in which it was played.

Having lost the toss and asked to bat first on a sticky wicket, we scored 308 with Higgsy

scoring a well struck hundred and me, well I struck out for my second club 99. We were

probably about 50 or so runs shy of a good score on that ground. In reply West‟s fought all

the way and though we had them 9 down for 255, Nath Lyon held the tail together and they

came within a whisker of toppling us. Sniffing a slight chance they asked us to bat again, thus

taking the game into day 3. Solid batting then saw us comfortably move to 3 for 168 when

West‟s conceded defeat and thus we booked a berth in the Grand Final.

Grand Final day finally and we took on Minor Premiers Tuggeranong for the title at the Home

of Cricket in the ACT - Manuka Oval (2nd Home if you count Freebody). Tuggeranong won

the toss and went on the offensive straight away by offering us the first use of the wicket.

Tuggies kept the pressure on and no one really got away from them, but we were consistent

and put together a number of handy partnerships. The best was a 76 run partnership between

Heads and Junior Sol for the 5th wicket, followed by a vital 9th wicket partnership of 33

between Spags and Sandy (with a season best effort of 34 n.o.). Whilst we finished with a

score of 301, we knew that Tuggeranong were a good side and quite capable of chasing down

that target.

Our defence of that score started brilliantly with an early wicket to Southy and from that point

on we kept the pressure on them. Whenever Tuggies started to put a partnership together, we

found a way of breaking it, either through the guile of Higgsy and his tweakers, or through

brute force of Southy. Both were both ably supported by Heads, Leathal, Spags and Bushie,

each doing their bit to maintain pressure on their batsmen. As the shadows grew longer on

Sunday, we could taste victory, but Ossie held us out and we just couldn‟t get that last wicket.

Monday morning it did not look good with dark clouds and a bit of overnight rain. It was like

Tuggies boys had been out all night doing a rain dance. However the groundsmen and his

crew managed to get everything right and the day started on time. It didn‟t take long as

Southy wrapped things up with the last ball of his first over, grabbing a little knick from

Tuggies tailender Evan Kellar. You little beauty 3 out of 3.

Every single player played their part this season, be it a wicket at a crucial time or a stubborn

innings that provided impetus for other batsmen to shine, or for that piece of brilliant fielding

that culminated in at wicket. I won‟t single out any particular players from First‟s as I am sure

that their individual efforts are acknowledged elsewhere in this report. So congratulations and

thanks to every single one of you.

Of course you cannot have a successful team without having a good administration, so I

would like to thank Ian Mac and all the members of the Management Committee who can due

fully share in the on field success.

Jono and Higgsy with the spoils of war

Leathal about to let

another thunderbolt rip

I would also like to thank Dawesy and his band of helpers for the work he has put into the

wickets at Freebody. They are now considered the best in the district.

Congrats also go to Ben and the 2nd graders as well as Ditts and the 3‟s for also bring home

some major silverware this season. Congrats also go to Sol and his young charges who won

the one-day title in 4th grade.

I would also like to personally thank my partner Kim and all the wives, partners and

girlfriends of all the players for their understanding and support they provide. I would also

like to specially mention Shannon Newham and Lyn McLennan for the great lunches they do.

Thanks Shannon and Lyn, hope to see you back again next season.

On a sad note we all mourned the loss of Luke Bush who tragically passed away on 10th

April

2010, the day after our Presentation Night. Bushy played an extremely important role in the

Bagger‟s premiership winning performances this past season. His great performance, country

humour and knack for turning up late always kept the lads laughing and enjoying each other‟s

company. Bushy you will be sorely missed mate.

On behalf of myself, the boys and the club, I would like to again offer our deepest sympathies

to Michael, Diane, Kate and Ryan, but also take the opportunity to thank you for bringing

Bushy to the Queanbeyan Cricket Club, he will be sorely missed but remembered forever as

one of the great club men.

This coming season will be for you Bushy!

What a great season this has been for 2nd

grade, and the club as a whole!

This year was the first 2 day premiership for Queanbeyan 2nd

grade since the 92/93 season

and a great way to cap off an excellent year by the team. I put our success this year down to

having a good mix of experience in the team as well as an overall good team attitude. Having

players like Peter Coleborne, Dean Mansfield and Simon Fahey in the team, who have all

played a lot of 1st grade cricket, has been a big help in bringing some stability to the batting

order as well as helping to keep the youngsters like Keifer Martyn, Pat Toole and Matt Crowe

on the right path.

2nd

grade is often thought of as the development grade for up and coming players but I hope to

keep a good mix of experience in there next season to ensure it remains one of the strongest

grades in the club and to encourage players to push their way into the team and up into 1st

grade.

Our batting this year has been the strongest and most consistent that I can ever recall in 2nd

grade. Having a batting line up that can consistently both set and chase big totals is always

going to win you matches. A couple of the best team batting performances this year were;

7/324 against Ginninderra in a one day game at Freebody, and

418 in the semi final against North‟s at Freebody.

The boys celebrating

a great victory

Southie’s inspired bowling

effort bagging 6 wickets

Excellent seasons from our key bowlers Darren Southwell, Luke Ryan and Matt Crowe have

enabled us to back up our strong batting performances. When a bit of „variety‟ was required

tossing the ball to Dave Corcoran would always produce a crucial wicket.

There was lots of pressure on players to perform in order to hold their spot in the team this

year; this is a really good sign for the club and shows the strength of our younger players

coming through. Players like Pat Toole and „Simple‟ Jack Murdoch are good examples of

this. Some of the stand-out personal performances throughout the year included:

Darren Southwell‟s man of the match performance in the Grand Final against Western

Creek, taking 6/33 and was the standout bowler all year,

Raglan Maddox scoring 116 not out against Tuggeranong at Freebody Oval, his first

century for the club, and

Simon Fahey‟s devastating 116 not out off an estimated 60 balls against North‟s at

Majura.

Special thanks goes to Greg Dawes for the amazing wickets he prepared this season at

Freebody, especially the ones he prepared for our Semi and Grand final matches which looked

like they belonged at the SCG! The conditions at Freebody this season were 2nd

to none and I

didn‟t hesitate to elect to play our finals matches there.

I would like to thank everyone who played 2nd

grade throughout the year and helped to keep

the team running smoothly.

I can‟t wait for the 2010/2011 season to start and I look forward to another great season from

the Bluebags!

Grade Report 2009-2010 Premiers

Back row: Phil Moore, Graeme Alexander, Colin Crouch, Steve Cross, Dean Stewart, Michael Frost

Front row: Pat Toole, David Monck, Michael Noble, Marty Frost, Rohan Ditton (c), Jack Murdoch

A very diverse Queanbeyan Bluebags 3rd

grade side took to the field with limited expectations

for 2009-2010. With the young stars who were expected to come through 3rds moving into

2nd

grade due to their improvement (and premiership success justified those decisions) and the

even younger stars clearly needed time in 4ths to start their grade cricket pathway it meant

that a number of us veterans were mixed with only a couple of young bucks. It proved to be a

winning combination!

In summary:

Winning the final of the 2 day competition in one of the most convincing victories of

the season;

We made the 1 day grand final – only to put in our worst effort of the year. Still a fine

effort from the lads to make the final; and

Several players developed their skills very nicely throughout the season and should be

very competitive next season in either 2nd

grade or pushing for higher honours

including, Pat Toole, Jack Murdoch, Callum Birtles and Phil Moore.

We also had a number of players returning to the club who played invaluable roles during the

year. We welcomed back David Monck, Dean Stewart, Graeme McLennan and Marty Frost to

the club. Each played a key role in the success and added immensely to the whole season. We

were lucky enough to also have Colin Crouch, Rohan Ditton, Graeme Alexander and Steve

Cross who all made the jump from 4ths last year to the mighty 3rds.

with Southie looking on

Two of the clubs young stars

Phil Moore and Jack Murdoch Other highlights throughout the year were:

The two centuries to Pat Toole. Pat is a very talented young player who will develop

into a very good 2nd

grade player and with some fine tuning could play a role in our 1st

grade side.

The appealing of David Monck – a sight to behold for all the lads. David also played

an integral role with his wily leg spin and outstanding fielding. These efforts after a 15

year absence from the game.

Jack Murdoch‟s tenacity in the final – A gritty innings of 68 to set-up the victory.

„Simple Jack‟ also played his part of keeping the lads entertained! No more needs to

be said!

The outstanding batting form of stalwart Steve Cross. Crossie formed a

Simpson/Lawry type combination with Michael Frost as between them they scored

over 1000 runs for the year and almost always ensured a great start for the team.

The express bowling of Co-skipper Lethal Lea Hansen. There would be at least a few

ANU players who would still be cleaning their duds after one frightening spell at the

home of the noodle eaters. Lea was an inspiration to all the players and later played an

important role in the 1st grade success.

Finally, thank you to all the Committee for their efforts in 2009-2010. You cannot be

successful without the support from the likes of Ian McNamee, Greg Dawes (thanks for the

best ever wickets and grounds), Gordon Elliott, Peter Solway and Ronnie Bates – thank you

for your efforts in steering the ship and making sure the QDCC survives and thrives. Bring on

2010-2011.

This season was another hugely successful year for the 4th grade team. From a trophy point of

view we were successful in the 1 day competition however went down in the semi-final of the

2 day competition. More importantly though, the club blooded another group of talented

youngsters who we believe have the ability to progress up the grades in future years.

The blend of old and young players in the lower grades is a formula that seems to be working

well for the club and is one that needs to be maintained in the future if possible.

The 1 day competition win was a fantastic result against the strong West‟s line-up. John Bull

(94) and Josh Gregory (47) laid the platform with a match winning partnership to steer the

team to 224 after its 50 overs. An excellent spell from Simon Mann saw the visitors on the

back foot from the outset and then Mark Solway and Jeremy MacDonald each bowled 10

overs of well controlled spin to ensure victory for the Queanbeyan side. All players listed in

the team below played their part and made excellent contributions throughout the year.

A big thank you to the 30 odd players from the club who played in our 1 day premiership side

– well done….a great achievement!

The performance of the team in the 2 day competition was also strong throughout the season.

Stephen Harris, Michael Medved and Michal Elliott all showed signs that they will be strong

grade players for our club into the future.

Josh Gregory, Mick Elliott, Simon Mann, Michael Medved, Peter Solway

Matt Chapman, Jeremy Macdonald, Mark Solway

Our side finished the season in 3rd

place and faced the strong West‟s X1 once again in a hard

fought semi final. After being caught on a bowler friendly wicket and losing regular wickets,

it was left to John Bull, Michael Medved to post a competitive score of 165. A lack of early

wickets meant we were always struggling and finally West‟s made the required runs being 5

wickets down.

All in all a very enjoyable and successful season was had by all.

Thank you to Stephen Cross and Greg Dawes in their role of selectors. We always fielded a

full team which can sometimes be a challenge throughout the year.

Finally a huge thank you to our curator, Greg Dawes, for the work he put into the Freebody

Oval wickets. It is great to play on decent strips and certainly helps the development of our

younger players to learn and improve their skills.

Grade Report

Queanbeyan Town Park on a sunny afternoon

5th Grade had a reasonably successful season by finishing on top of the ladder after the home

and away matches. Disappointing not to, or at least, make it to the Grand Final but that‟s the

way cricket goes sometimes. I firmly believe we had the side to take it out but just couldn‟t

quite put it together during the semi final.

This year we welcomed into our ranks Andrew Beattie, Matt Chapman, Dave Jensen, Daniel

Johnston as well as the return of the old war horse Jimmy Martin.

There were a number of good performances throughout the year which was pleasing to see.

We had a slow and inconsistent but once we came to grips with new 45 over format we began

to put some good scores in the book. All in all it was a pretty good season but we just need to

believe in our own ability and to go the extra step next season.

Congratulations to 1st, 2

nd and 3

rd Grade in winning their respective competitions and also to

4th Grade who took out the one day competition – well done to all concerned there.

Great to see the Club winning the Club Championship for the ‟09/10 cricket season – a

fantastic effort by everyone involved within the club, an effort that we should all be very

proud of.

I would also like to thank Dawsey and his band of helpers for the great work on the Town

Park wicket and also the council for a great outfield. It was great to see the ground in such

good condition throughout the season.
